Thanks for the hints. I made some progress. Rode around my back yard on the grass with my left foot clipped in. I have still not successfully clipped in on the right side even once. I don't have the right size allen wrench to adjust the tension, so I guess I'll have to get one. Of course, my husband just assumed I'm an idiot and didn't believe that we don't have the right size. He nearly stripped the bolt trying to force in one that was too large.
